Sinossi

Bullet Dodging explores the surprising intersection of physics and psychology behind our ability to evade fast-moving threats. It examines how our brains and bodies work together to achieve feats of reaction, looking at both real-world scenarios and the exaggerated dodges seen in fiction. Did you know that understanding projectile motion—velocity, trajectory, and acceleration—is crucial for predicting where a threat will be? Or that cognitive biases can significantly impact your reaction time? This book uniquely bridges the gap between intuitive movement and the scientific realities governing it.

 
The book begins by laying out the fundamental physics of projectiles, including air resistance and gravity. It then delves into the psychological factors at play in threat detection, decision-making, and motor control, discussing how visual processing and cognitive biases affect our reflexes.

 
Finally, Bullet Dodging integrates these perspectives to analyze real-world cases, offering potential training methods while acknowledging the limitations of human physiology.

    Author Alan Brown guides the intrepid on a dark tour of the Pelican State's most infamous residents. Louisiana beckons those the world over with its culture and Spanish moss–draped beauty. But that magnetic pull has also summoned a cast of reprobates vile enough to fill a book. In this version of Louisiana, pirate Jean Lafitte and gentlemanly train robber Eugene Bunch go ahead and help themselves to whatever they like, murderous dentist Etienne De Champs is the stuff of dentophobic nightmares, a psychotic killer known as "The Axeman" stalks the streets of New Orleans and a hail of bullets greets Bonnie and Clyde. Indeed, the sadistic Delphine LaLaurie and Voodoo Queen Clementine Barnabet are quite comfortable in this decidedly non-moss-draped history.

    Terminal lucidity is a relatively common but poorly understood phenomenon. Near the end of life, many people—including those who have suffered brain injuries or strokes, or have been silenced by mental illness or deep dementia—experience what seems a miraculous return. They regain their clarity and energy, are able to talk with families and caregivers, recall their lives and often appear to be aware of their nearing death.In this remarkable audiobook, cognitive scientist and Director of the Viktor Frankl Institute Dr. Alexander Batthyány offers the first major account of terminal lucidity, utilizing hundreds of case studies and his research in the related field of near-death studies to explore the mind, the body, the nature of consciousness, and what the living can learn from those who are crossing the border from life to death.Astonishing, authoritative, and deeply moving, Threshold opens a doorway into one of life's—and death's—most provocative mysteries.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press Essentials.

    The Village on the Edge of the...

    A Nobel laureate presents a brilliant, discomfiting reflection on literary life defined by the brutality of Ceausescu’s Romania. 
    From her childhood in Romania, in a village “as small as a thimble on the edge of the world,” through to life in exile in Germany, Herta Müller's story unspools against the tumultuous history of Romania in the latter half of the twentieth century. Here, the Nobel Prize laureate reflects on cultural history, memory, and trauma, and on what it was to live and write under Ceausescu's regime. She revisits the friendships that buckled under the weight of fear and paranoia; the experience of being surveilled and interrogated; and on the unique blend of fear and tedium borne through life under totalitarianism. 
    The Village on the Edge of the World is a book that chronicles the minutiae of life under both fascism and the Soviet Union, while charting the existential questions posed by these regimes of the twentieth century—and how they remain with us in the twenty–first. This is a powerful and evocative reflection on life behind the Iron Curtain.
